GreenMouse Recycling started as an e-waste recycling business committed to building communities by providing a friendly and convenient way to dispose of unwanted waste. Evelyn O'Donnell, a Silicon Valley veteran, founded the company after a 15-year career in high-tech marketing and sales. Evelyn's vision was to create a purpose-driven company that would provide sustainable employment and training to disadvantaged adults. In 2010, GreenMouse Recycling partnered with the City of San Jose and its work2future program to provide training and employment opportunities to at-risk young adults through its Green Cadre Program.  In 2011, GreenMouse Recycling received the Community Builder Award from the City of San Jose for its contributions and leadership. GreenMouse Recycling also collaborates with Rebekah Children’s Services (rcskids.org) to offer work experience and employment opportunities to at-risk high school students.GreenMouse Recycling has three business and social goals:

1. Provide responsible e-waste recycling services that contribute to a clean and healthy environment.

2. Create training programs and employment opportunities for at-risk high school students and young adults.

3. Contribute to the economic and social strength of our communities through the creation of green jobs and fundraising events. GreenMouse Recycling's corporate headquarters are located in Silicon Valley, near San Jose Airport, which allows us to directly serve Santa Clara County. Although the company offers services primarily in Santa Clara, Campbell, Los Gatos, Saratoga, Cupertino, Sunnyvale, Los Altos, Mt. Vew and Palo Alto, GreenMouse also serves corporate customers and non-profit organizations throughout California.

During the past few months, we made the difficult decision to start charging a nominal fee for some of our services, which is due to the recent decline in the price of commodities and the added cost of doing business.  However, there are still many items that you may drop off for FREE at our collection center (see list  below - What We Take). What we charge for are hard drive destruction and paper shredding services, as well as for recycling appliances, fluorescent lights, batteries, household items (vacuum cleaners, stereo equipment, players/speakers, toasters, blenders, coffee makers, toys), printers, copy and fax machines, keyboards/mice and other miscellaneous items. (Please call for pricing).  Our first aim is to please our customers, indeed, however, we will not be able to serve you if our business incurs losses. We are confident, nonetheless, that you will find the quality of our services in light of these charges to be quite reasonable and competitive. GreenMouse Recycling brings to businesses and neighborhoods the widest range of electronics recycling services to San Jose, San Mateo, San Francisco, and Palo Alto. We also serve the surrounding areas to include: Campbell, Los Gatos, Saratoga, Cupertino, Sunnyvale, and Los Altos. We service our customers through scheduled pick-ups, convenient drop-offs, and collection events. . 

GreenMouse Recycling is approved by the State of California (CEW #103153 and EPA #CAR000224717) to provide electronic waste recycling services to businesses, schools, non-profit organizations, government agencies, and residential customers.  We provide our customers with the confidence that their end-of-life equipment will be recycled according to the stringent  rules and regulations set forth by the State of California.  Further, GreenMouse Recycling is committed to adhering to responsible recycling practices and partners with an e-Stewards Certified Recycler (Electronic Recyclers International) for processing and dismantling of televisions,monitors, laptops and other e-waste.
